The White City by Grace Hitchcock

ABOUT THE BOOK

Mysterious Disappearances Taint the Chicago World’s Fair

Step into True Colors -- a new series of Historical Stories of Romance and American Crime

While attending the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, Winnifred Wylde believes she witnessed a woman being kidnapped. She tries to convince her father, an inspector with the Chicago police, to look into reports of mysterious disappearances around the White City. Inspector Wylde tries to dismiss her claims as exaggeration of an overactive imagination, but he eventually concedes to letting her go undercover as secretary to the man in question—if she takes her pistol for protection and Jude Thorpe, a policeman, for bodyguard.

Will she be able to expose H. H. Holmes’s illicit activity, or will Winnifred become his next victim

MY REVIEW

I love historical novels that use the Chicago World's fair as a backdrop.

Can you imagine the crowds that visited it daily?! Wow!!

Since I'm assuming that this is her debut novel she has done an amazing job with her research and has excellent characters that are well suited to the story.

Winnifred is a girl after my own heart!! She's in my opinion in the wrong time and place and I admire her for that. She's bold and beautiful which is a definite no no for socialites. S

someone very special loves her for who she is. I love that in a man dont you?

In some ways Jude aggravated me

He aggravated me because he didn't see what was in front of him.

The way I see it, if two people are meant to be together and if it's God's will then other people shouldn't step in the way of God's bigger picture.

I really don't think I could handle being Winifred. I see why she did what she did in some places of the book. She didn't like the Socialites on her class. Way too stuck up for me!!

I love the who done it because it makes for an interesting story and you will want to keep reading until you do find out.

I didn't think I'd like story when I first opened the book but now I"m glad I did!! You won't believe who done the crime!! It will rock your socks!! 

Wow ! I just loved this book!! Well done Grace!! Keep em coming!! 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and no compensations were received. All opinions are my own!!
